Dropbox is the easiest way to share and store your files online. Want to learn more? Head to http://www.dropbox.com/

Error: Trouble connecting to Dropbox servers. Maybe your internet connection is down, or you need to set your http_proxy environment variable
The installation of Dropbox failed.

Is this a Ubuntu bug or a Dropbox bug? I have no way of knowing, and from the earlier comments in this bug I conclude that there's no agreement about that.

Meanwhile I struggle.
